For a half- life, the formula is
A(t) = A0(0.5)^( t / t_0.5)
where A(t) is the amount of substance at time t
A0 is the initial amount of subtance
t_0.5 is the time it will reduce its amount to half
t is the time

substitute the given to the formula
A(t) = 100(0.5)^( t/6 )
so the decay factor is 0.5^( t/6 )

Suppose f(×) = 2^×, sketch a graph of f(×) and f^-1(×)​
musickatia [10]

Let f(x) = y

y = 2^x

x = 2^y

Solve for y.

ln x = ln(2^y)

ln x = y ln 2

ln x/ln 2 = y

Replace y with f^(-1) x.

f^(-1) x = ln x/ln 2

We now know f(x) and f^(-1) x.

Use your graphing calculator to graph the function and its inverse on the same xy-plane. If you don't have a graphing calculator, use DESMOS online.

Good luck.
